Abnormal Gourmet Chronicle-Chapter 992 - 485: You Don’t Want to Embarrass Zhiwei Restaurant, Right? (Part 3)
"It's just that Luoluo... never really had any talent for studying from childhood to now. My parents actually don't expect her to achieve anything through studying; their only requirement for her education is just not to go astray."
"This summer, my mom will force Luoluo to take extra lessons, mainly because she received a large sum of lucky money from Gong Liang during the New Year, and she has too much money on hand. My mom is afraid that with more money, she'll spend it recklessly—play wildly and turn bad during the summer. Previously, my mom only needed to worry about Luoluo going to black internet cafes to play games with classmates during the summer. Now, she has more things to worry about, as Luoluo could even invest in black internet cafes with the money she has."
"Anyway, extra lessons help her learn something, which is not a bad thing. Since childhood, whenever I had extra lessons, Luoluo had them too. We treat them equally, and she's used to it. I guess she sees my exchange at Zhiwei Restaurant as a form of extra lesson too. This summer, my cousin will accompany her during extra lessons, which is quite good."
It was Zhao Cheng'an's turn to be stunned: "Your family... is pretty... pretty unique."
"Is it?" Qin Huai genuinely didn't think there was anything special. "Actually, it's quite normal. If you stay around here for a while, you'll see that my parents and Luoluo are all really nice. My dad, besides being a bit lacking in making buns, and my mom, despite her cold tea tasting awful, have no other issues."
"Later, when you go to Yunzhong Restaurant, drink more Seven Spice Dampness Removing Tea; it's good for your health." 𝒇𝓻𝓮𝓮𝙬𝙚𝒃𝒏𝓸𝙫𝒆𝙡.𝓬𝓸𝒎
Zhao Cheng'an: ???
Qin Huai led Zhao Cheng'an to the place where he lived, which was opposite Qu Jing's house. Qin Huai figured that this arrangement might have been done intentionally by Chen Huihong, so that Zhao Cheng can directly ask Qu Jing if he has any questions, which is convenient.
Just as they entered the house, before they even found where the kettle was, the doorbell rang. Upon opening the door, Qu Jing appeared wearing an apron.
"Qin Huai, Sister Hong asked me to wait for you at home and go to Mr. Luo's house for a tea party after you've settled down." Qu Jing smiled and nodded at Zhao Cheng'an.
Qin Huai looked at Qu Jing's attire. She should have the day off today, wearing a floral long dress with half sleeves, exposing a portion of her arms with dense, old scars, but no new ones.
Seeing Qin Huai glancing at her arms, Qu Jing lifted her hand, showing the scars to him: "I consulted at the hospital. They said the scar's area is too large and the time has been too long, making scar removal difficult, and the results may not be ideal. So, I decided not to treat it."
"While working, I still wear long sleeves and gloves to cover them so as not to scare patients. However, my colleagues in the department all know about it. I told them it's because, from the pressure of studying before, I had some psychological issues, liking self-harm. Our department head even introduced me to a very capable psychologist."
"Sister Hong has been worried I might fail in overcoming it again, but I think I won't. After waking up, I realized that I had never seriously interacted with this world before. People are actually quite tolerant, accepting all sorts of weird individuals, just like everyone accepts that your mind isn't quite right, thinking there's a game system in it."
Qin Huai:… Okay, enough, stop talking. I do have a game system indeed; sometimes when telling the truth, no one believes.
"Are you cooking at home?" Qin Huai changed the subject.
"Yes, I'm cooking Rice Cake Soup at home. Sister Hong said since so many people are coming this time, we should all bring something to Mr. Luo's house so that we don't just take fruit every time; otherwise, Mr. Luo might get unhappy over time."
"Ah? I just brought clothes for a change. I didn't bring toothpaste or a toothbrush, not even any gifts or specialties. I know Bi fang can be temperamental, and if I go empty-handed to Luo Jun's house, he won't kick me out, will he?" Zhao Cheng'an was startled.
"Of course not," Qin Huai reassured, "Luo Jun's kitchen is very large, with very complete kitchenware and even more complete ingredients."
"I've always made snacks when I went there before. Now that you've come, it's time to show your real skills."
"Given Luo Jun's temperament and character, he won't leave Yunzhong District in his lifetime, let alone go to Zhiwei Restaurant to taste freshly made snacks. You don't want to embarrass Zhiwei Restaurant, do you?"
